Troubleshooting
I cannot send a picture
Depending on your wireless service provider, organization, or the number of applications that you installed and are running at one time on your BlackBerry® device, you might not be able to send pictures that are a certain size. Try performing any of the following actions: · Try sending a smaller picture. Depending on your BlackBerry® Device Software, you might be prompted to resize the picture. To check the size of the picture that you want to send, in the camera application, highlight the picture. · If you recently minimized applications on your device using the End key, on the Home screen of your device, click the icon for one of these applications. Press and hold the Escape key to close the application and free some of your device memory. · On a computer, try resizing the picture or saving it with a lower resolution before you send the picture again. For more information about the file transfer limits for your device, contact your wireless service provider or organization.
I cannot send or receive GPS location information
Try performing the following actions: · If you are outdoors, move away from buildings and expose your BlackBerry® device to open sky. · If you are indoors, move close to a window. · If you have paired your device with a Bluetooth® enabled GPS receiver, verify that the Bluetooth enabled GPS receiver is turned on. · If you are using GPS technology for the first time, wait a short period of time for your device to get your GPS location. · If the contact is using a previous version of BlackBerry® Messenger, if the contact's device does not have a internal GPS receiver, or if the contact has not paired his or her device with a Bluetooth® enabled GPS receiver, some features might not be available for you to use for that contact.
